The Gaming Show

Creating 'New' Games

Duration: 16 minutes

The games industry is dominated by sequels, remakes and familiar concepts at the moment. The Gaming Show looks at why developers and publishers keep going back over old ground, rather than looking to create new worlds for players to explore. Does it matter that most new games feature familiar places and faces? As long as they're fun to play should gamers care? We speak to those who're looking for new ideas to publish, those who've created fresh new concepts in recent months and those who're playing them - to find out how important new ideas really are to the gaming industry.
